What We Left Behind
To reclaim her memories, she must confront the monster she once knew.
In the shadow-soaked alleys of the Bazaar, a labyrinthine city steeped in ancient magic, whispered secrets, and deadly deceit. Young magician Rionach Prendergast awakens with her memories shattered and her past stolen by unseen hands. Haunted by visions she cannot place, she finds herself hunted by the tyrannical Butcher, a cruel master of dark sorcery who commands twisted creatures and shadowed forces that bend the very fabric of reality.
Desperate and vulnerable, Rionach is forced into an uneasy alliance with a secretive coven of rebel witches who wield forbidden magics born of old myths and blood rites. As she journeys deeper into the city’s underbelly, where curses linger like smoke and every shadow hides a lie, Rionach must unravel the mysteries of her unique power. A magic entwined with the very essence of the Butcher’s dark reign.
But reclaiming her memories comes at a price, for the truth reveals a bond more sinister than she dared imagine. In a world where gods and monsters once walked among mortals, and ancient bloodlines dictate fate, Rionach will learn that a fox may change its skin, but never its character. To survive the forces closing in, she must embrace the darkness within and face the legacy she tried to forget.
“What We Left Behind” is a gripping dark mythical fantasy of lost identities, forbidden magic, and the haunting shadows of a past that refuses to stay buried.
